            Bug ID: 228123
           Summary: date command gives wrong time when used in tcsh
                    aliases
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org

I am running a fully up to date FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p10 / amd64 and I am u=
sing
tcsh for my shell. I created a couple of aliases to create date and timesta=
mped
ZFS snapshots and added them to my ~/.cshrc but the time output by my custom
`date` format command is always behind the actual time. If I run my aliases
straight after booting, they are only about 1m behind but the longer my mac=
hine
is turned on, the more the time in the aliases gets out of sync with the ac=
tual
time.

If I run just `date` or if I run the date command using my formatted output
from the command line, I get the correct time. It is only when date is exec=
uted
via my aliases that the time falls behind.

One of my aliases that exhibits this issue:

alias zsd        sudo zfs snapshot -r data/media@`date +%d-%m-%Y-%T`
